Load/Unload Packet

The load/unload command ($1B) positions the tape for removal or to BOT. The load mode positions the tape at BOT, and the unload mode positions the tape at End Of Tape (EOT). The retension bit causes the tape to go to BOT, then to EOT, then to BOT for the load mode. This is done before the load or unload function, if enabled.

If the immediate response bit is set, status is returned immediately even though the controller is still busy. If a new command is sent before the controller is finished, a busy error ($xx34) may be sent back to the MVME147 firmware, but the firmware performs an internal retry after the current command is done. If the immediate bit is not set, status is not returned until the command is finished.

The table below shows the load/unload packet.
